WASHINGTON L. GILROY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

Letters Patent No. 98,758, dated January 11, 1870; antedated Janna/r11} 1, 1870.

IMPROVED rnocnss or PRESERVING- GREEN 001m.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern in an nndried state, as an article of food or diet.

The puttingup, in close vessels, of the uuskinned grains of green corn, as they are cut from the cob, has been practised, as a' business, for several years; but the pure pulp, without the integument .or enclosing skins, and enclosed in vessels for future use, in a fresh condition, is believed to be not onlynew and useful, but valuableand important to the public, as a delicious article of food, and especially tothe invalid, as aneurishing and easily-digestible article of diet.

In separating the pure pulp from the grains of green corn on the cob, the implement invented and. patented by me, May 25, 1869, is used, and thereby'the tops of the .grains are rapidly divided or cut across, and the contained pulp forced out. This pulp is then placed in suitable bottles, jars, or cans, and the vessels then hermetically sealed, in the usual manner of putting up fresh green corn for future use.

I do not intend to confine myself tothe use of any particular mode or implement in separating the pulp from its enclosure and cob; nor to the use of any particular kind of bottles, jars, or'cans, for containing the separated pulp normode of hermetically sealing the vessels, but having fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure-by Letters Patent, is confined to the following, viz:

As a new article of manufacture, the pure pulp'of" green corn, hermetically scaled up, and preserved, in its fresh, succulent state, in suitable vessels, substantially as described, for future use as food.
